His peace is shattered, however, when a young Idaho cop (Tye Sheridan, Ready Player One) alerts him to his suspicion that a local missing person's case and a series of robberies and bombings are all linked.
As it turns out, these crimes are being organised by Bob Matthews (Nicholas Hoult, The Menu), the leader of a neo-Nazi terrorist organisation. He is planning to use the money from the group's heists to finance an armed uprising against the US government.
Based on true events, The Order is the type of movie they don't make enough of anymore: an exciting, gripping adult-focused crime thriller with a sociological edge.
Kurzel's muscular direction and the cat-and-mouse game that develops between Law's frazzled agent and Hoult's cold-as-ice thief and killer recalls Michael Mann's Heat.
This is before a haunting final title card ties the events of the movie directly to the present day.
That said, it eventually found a wider audience when it was later added to Prime Video.
The Order is still available to stream on Prime Video, but you can also now watch it for free through the RTÉ Player right here.
The Order, the acclaimed 2024 crime thriller from director Justin Kurzel (True History of the Kelly Gang), is now available to stream at home for free.
Newly accessible through RTÉ Player, its story revolves around Terry Husk (Jude Law, Black Rabbit), a veteran FBI agent in the 1980s who moves to Idaho, seeking an easier caseload after a string of intense investigations.
But there are also shades of The French Connection, In the Heat of the Night, and Mississippi Burning in how the film's investigation plot evolves into a portrait of a dark underbelly of society often ignored.
Also starring Irish actress Alison Oliver (Task), as well as Jurnee Smollett (Smoke), Marc Maron (The Bad Guys), and Odessa Young (The Narrow Road to the Deep North), the crime thriller received only a brief, limited cinema release. This was despite earning a high 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
